Aske i fyrrum

[Tysker]

Hej,

I've had my RTB for five months now and am a bit surprised that a lot of ash seems to be distributed throughout the fyrrum. Seeing ash deposits on the pillefyr itself (most of it close to the "chimney exhaust") is one thing, but essentially having a thin film of ash on everything stored in the room is unexpected.

Is this "normal", or is there a problem with my pillefyr or the installation?

All connections in smoke pipes must be tight.
Joints must be carried out with sealing or sealed with sealant.

Tak Michael!

Maybe they should, mine however is not.

And i don't have ash i my boiler room. So if, I where you, i would investigate the chimney. Does it have sufficiant draft, if not this could easily be your problem.

Turns out my VVS guy has not sealed anything - not even the trykstabilisator (!!!). We could just watch ash being blown out through the gaps where the trykstabilisator was mounted (during compressor cleaning). FWIW, the problem was exacerbated by "old" ash from the chimney (which could not be removed when the pillefyr was installed but was getting lose/dissolved over time).

But still, the trykstabilisator?!? Apart from the ash problem, it's not even going to function properly when not sealed. I'm really amazed because I'm otherwise quite happy with the VVS guy.

For now, I've applied the non-handyman solution - aluminum tape. What is the "proper" way to seal a trykstabilisator?

There should be as much drag in your chimney that ash does not come the way out.
Maybe you need a http://www.nbe-shop.dk/index.php/traepillefyr-kedler-og-reservedele/traepillefyr-tilbehor/exfan-rogsuger-med-kw-traekstabilisator-130mm.html
 to get enough suction in boiler so that you achieve the desired combustion.
